Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) inquired about how the Equal Access to Justice Act has emboldened environmental groups to promote lawfare against farmers.
Assessments
Crane's House office reported on August 5, 2026 that he is drafting legislation to restrict alleged abuses of the Equal Access to Justice Act, and he also raised the issue in an official House Oversight context. That is meaningful same-term effort toward the promise, but the evidence does not show completed draft text, introduction of a bill, sponsorship, passage, or enactment. Because the promised action is not clearly completed, this is partial rather than delivered.
